Credentials
Badges that recognise real change work
Lean Change badges are earned through participation, application, and contribution — not exams. Browse the full catalog below and follow your own path.
Not certifications
A different kind of recognition
Most credentials test what you can remember under pressure. Lean Change badges recognise what you actually do — and the evidence you bring to prove it.
Earned, not tested
Traditional certifications rely on invigilated exams and right-or-wrong answers. Our badges are earned through doing — attending workshops, applying skills, contributing to the community.
From explore to amplify
The badge system has five levels of engagement — from showing up and engaging, through to demonstrating capability and leading others. Each level recognises a different kind of contribution.
Evidence of practice
Higher-level badges require evidence — a case study, a reflection, peer validation, or a real example of change work. That evidence is what makes the badge meaningful to the people looking at it.
Badge categories
Five types of recognition
Every badge belongs to one of five categories reflecting the kind of learning or contribution it represents.
Earn a badge by completing self-paced learning and engaging with core concepts on your own terms.
Demonstrate conceptual understanding through structured courses, cohorts, and knowledge checks.
Apply your skills in a real situation and provide evidence of change work in practice.
Contribute to the Lean Change community — co-create, collaborate, and give back to the network.
Lead the movement. Ambassador badges recognise those who advocate, mentor, and grow the community beyond themselves.
